Brushed Stainless Steel Compost Pail Keeps it Simple

Practical and attractive way to collect kitchen scraps

Easy to clean; resists odors and stains

Holds one gallon

The perfect match for today’s sleek, modern kitchen, this pail is also extremely practical. Stainless steel won’t take on the odors or colors of onions, garlic and other pungent food scraps. It easily rinses clean and is dishwasher-safe, too.

The stainless steel for this compost bin is LOW QUALITY and the bin developed a pinhole leak at the bottom, making for a yucky mess under my sink. This should be a longer-lasting product.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have had this compost pail for 5 years, and it still looks brand new. I use it daily. Sometimes I need to empty it multiple times a day as I use it so much, other times I may only empty it twice a week. It serves my needs well. I can throw it in the dishwasher if I want to clean it up, but most times I just rinse with water between dumpings and I am good to go. I have bought one for my mom and she uses hers and is very happy with it. She prefers the bag liners with hers, either way it serves us both well.

This is a great product. I purchased this to replace a much larger plastic pail which required use of a plastic bag liner. This made the old container very messy to empty since compost can start to liquefy after a few days. This pail is the perfect size. Small enough to force you to empty frequently. The stainless steel means is easy to clean without using a liner. The pail is well constructed with a sturdy handle and snug fitting top. It is a little expensive but I think worth the price.

The handle came of the top within the first week with only normal usage.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

We use this as our kitchen compost, I.e. Anything that is not protein. We use it with compostible bags, and empty it every 5 or 6 days. The container stays clean. The bags decompose with the kitchen scraps. It was a perfect solution to our fruit fly problem.

The container is on my kitchen counter which is very handy for disposing of food scraps before taking them to the compost. It is also attractive and I like that it's made of stainless steel rather than plastic (more petroleum)! The lid stays firmly on so no fruit flies have been present. I would recommend this product and even bought two extra for my neighbors who are also contributing to the shared compost. Thank you Gardener's Supply Company!
